Don't really know why people have Joshua above Wilder. Its not like Wilder lost to someone like Ruiz; he lost to who many considered the number 1 or 2 in the division. In my opinion Joshua gets knocked out by one of Wilder's punches.

You can make a case for that. Not sure who else could take advantage of Wilder's flaws other than a very skilled, BIG and Long Fury.

Wilder just got his ass battered, far worse than Fury usually beats guys, and Josh has the superior record overall.Josh is #2 and I think he beats Wilder as well

Joshua has a better resume than wilder and is coming off a win. Aj had an embarrassing loss but rebounded, deep down I still think he's the best, but I'm admittedly a fan.

Looking at the ring top 10:

Champ: fury
1: Joshua
2: Whyte
3: Wilder
4: Ortiz
5: ruiz
6: povetkin
7: Parker
8: hunter
9: kownacki
10: rivas

I'd put Wilder above Whyte & Ruiz above Ortiz.

Top 3 is still Fury, Joshua, Wilder.

Can’t see Whyte being ranked above Wilder.

Agree, I think some people are just giddy to drop Wilder. The top 3 guys didn't change, just the order.

In my weird head I still think Wilder stops Joshua but having Fury at #1, AJ at #2 number 3 is up for debate

Joshua has far superior resume comparing to Wilder. And I'd heavily favor him to KO Wilder as well. I don't think that he will beat Fury though

Fury beating up Wilder is no indication of AJ's ability of doing the same. I still think Wilder beats AJ.

No, it's no indication at all. Indication is that Wilder has absolutely ZERO inside fighting skills and Joshua is pretty good on that distance. Surely, Wilder will have a decent chance with his crazy power, but his non-existant inside fighting skills and low boxing IQ are the main reasons why I'll favor AJ to beat him
